I am now a Contributing Editor at io9

Big news! I have joined Gawker Media as a full-time Contributing Editor for io9.com. My first day of work is this coming Monday June 4. You can expect to see my articles posted there on daily basis as I report on a wide variety of topics.

This marks an amazing opportunity for me to change things up a bit and steer my career into a direction more amenable to my talents and passions. I'll be writing about science, culture, and futurism -- themes that are near and dear to the readers of Sentient Developments. I'm excited to have the opportunity to bring my interests and insights to the io9 community. I certainly hope you'll join me and continue to follow my work as I make the jump to io9.

I will certainly keep on blogging here at Sentient Developments, though I expect the volume of posts will decrease. At the very least I will keep you all abreast of my work and projects, while linking back to my posts at io9.

Congrats on your top-of-the-list article at the RealClearScience link-site [ http://www.realclearscience.com/ ]for "Painkillers Now Leading Cause of Accidental Death": Per usual, at io9, as everywhere you go, your genius is having an immediate impact.
